Configure vShield Manager Data Collector
If you have installed the vShield Manager Data Collector, you must specify the user name and password to
access the vShield Manager instances. You can set this access information from the Cloud Data Collectors page
of the Settings tab.
The vShield Manager Data Collector cannot function if the user name and password for the vShield Manager
instances are not set. After installing the vShield Manager Data Collector, the vShield Manager instances do
not appear immediately in vCenter Chargeback. You can see these instances in the application only after the
VMware Cloud Director Data Collector processes the vShield Manager-related events.
Only users with the Super User role assigned to them can perform this task.
